I purchased the metal tips from Sharon Schambers site, but I can not seem to get them to work for me. I can't remember if the plastic long tips I use came from her site or if I bought them at Hobby Lobby in the model planes cars etc. dept. But I have two long plastic tips that I use. Be sure to put the plastic cap on the tip when you are finished using it. This helps keep it from drying out. Sharon suggested that you DO NOT use a metal pin or needle in the bottle if you don't have a cap, because they have a tendacy to rust and get in the glue. She recommended something we all have from time to time, the very thin (hair like thin) plastic strips, rings or strips whatever you might call them that are attached to tags on clothes when you buy them, many of these have a funny end instead of just the t shape ends. These work well.
